Childrens Photography Promotion - Day with the Ducklings






This has got to be my favorite Kidz Dayz promotion ever! I spend all day building a "pond" in my camera room. Incredibly, it has real water, real rocks, several real plants, a real dock and best of all, real ducklings! The little baby Peking Ducks are a favorite! Cute, cuddly and lots of fun. The will dive under the water, stand on the dock, swim around in circles and sometimes climb the rocks. I don't know who has more fun, the kids or me.

Kidz Dayz is a bi-monthly promotion we have at the studio that involves a "theme set". Because it is only for a couple of days and we do not have to change out the set for each session, we offer reduced pricing on the photography. The sessions are only $25 and packages start at $79. It's a great way to get cute, economical photographs of your children.

Call today to make your appointment because with a set this cute, the best times sell out first. 321-8888

Stetson Chapel Kalamazoo, MI and Rose Street Market/ wedding

What a beautiful day to have a wedding. And in such a beautiful spot. Matt and Amy prepared for the wedding at a location other then Stetson Chapel where there wedding was to take place in a few hours. As they were about to start their life together, they arrived at their wedding site...together. I think that is so symbolic, a couple enjoying one of the happiest days in their life together instead of apart from each other. Isn't that what it's all about anyway? The two of them, together. If I had my wedding to do over again, that is exactly what I would do. I would plan a romantic breakfast together, complete with champagne and strawberries in a secluded corner of an outdoor cafe' where we could experience the sun breaking over the horizon together Call me a hopeless romantic, but it's what my heart desires. Why should a wedding day be any different.

But back to Matt and Amy...It was pure pleasure to watch them walk up together, obviously so much in love and full of excitement for the events that were about to happen. Without stepping into the Chapel, we wandered the ground and created images that captured their feeling for one another as well as documented who they were on this day in their life. Here are a few of the pages from their album that captures the experience.




Rose Street Market - what a wonderful location for a celebration. Some of the cool aspects of Rose Street is the balcony that overlooks the event, the spotlight on the bride and groom for their first dance and the marque outside with a warm congratulations to the happy couple. What great touches!
